Bridget Jones and the Millennial Workplace

This fall, Bridget Jones will have her baby. The third film in the franchise comes exactly two decades after “Bridget Jones’s Diary,” Helen Fielding’s novel about a thirty-two-year-old single woman in London. I didn’t read it when it was published, because I was a nine-year-old boy. Recently, though, a friend loaned me a copy, promising that I would relate. I took in the subtitle—“Uncensored. Uninhibited. Unmarried.”—and tore right through.
